    Too cold to detect? Detecting winter blues.

    It was 15 degrees yesterday with a feels like 6 degrees. I wanted to bundle up and go outside to detect and then it started snowing. On top of everything else I had some errands to run and then it was dark and cold. I would have probably still gone detecting but there was just too much to do...

    Grass is Not Always Greener

    I am sure most of us have heard this statement many times in our lives. Except today the grass was greener, a brighter green. I was excited to have more time to hunt and I have been wanting to travel to a nearby town. I have never detected in this town so I was surprised to see that in this...

    Night hunt with the Compadre 7” coil

    It was 60 degrees Fahrenheit tonight and I had a surprise from the wife. She said why dont you go out detecting for a couple of hours tonight. I have not been out on a night hunt since cold weather hit. I only had two hours to detect and that is only if the rain held for a while and the...

    Hour hunt with the Bandido ii Umax

    We have had some cold weather the last couple of weeks and I went out detecting last Saturday morning with the temperature at 29 degrees Faranheit and it was freezing cold with a cold wind blowing. I stayed out for about 4 hours. I don't know what I was thinking. I ended up getting sick from...

    Thinking of Selling my Teknetics T2 Classic Green

    I am debating on selling my T2. It does not get out much because I have 4 beep and dig detectors. I guess I am old school because I like the analog knows and switches a lot and I have the opportunity to buy a Tesoro Lobo ST for a really great deal. This is the first Teknetiics detector I have...

    Musket Ball or not?

    I need help with identifying this round ball about the size of a marble. I know what a lead musket ball looks like in color and I have found civil war bullets in the area of Virginia where I live. The other night out detecting I dug this round ball and at first thought it was a ball bearing of...

    PD stamped ring

    In my detecting yesterday I found a ring. I love finding rings and I don’t even care if they turn out to be junkers. Digging up a ring ball and seeing that beautiful curvature of the ring poking through the dirt always gets me excited. I was talking to a friend who has higher end detectors...

    Winter is coming soon!!!

    How many of you hang it up in the winter and wait until Spring to go detecting again? I would go in a blizzard if I get the green light from my wife. In fact when I first started detecting I did just that. I was so addicted to the hobby back then and I still am just as addicted to it. So...

I do not own any of the following detectors, but wish I did. The question is, does the Golden Umax, Silver Umax...

    Found First Silver with Compadre 7” Coil

    This last Saturday I got up early in the morning to go detecting at a place I have been having great success but today was the best day yet. I love it when you find a place you know has not had a detector run over it because there are so many targets to dig even on full discrimination. I...

    Eldorado wore me out on a 2 1/2 hour hunt.

    I have been using my 5.75" Compadre and my 7" Compadre on almost every hunt I have been on lately. Last night I decided to pull out the Eldorado with the 9x8" coil on it to see if I could cover a little bit more ground and get a little bit more depth. It had rained real well for a few days...

    Found a wallet today-Did a good deed

    I know this post should probably be in the good deeds forum and may end up getting moved there . I thought it fitting however to post it on this forum, due to the post I had a few days ago about being asked to leave the park because of a ban on parks to metal detecting. Today I went to a...
